Well, thanks to Ted we don't have to start next inning with a guaranteed Soriano strikeout.

[weatherdood]

Soriano couldn't even hit a ball off a tee right now.

Yes, the REAL leadoff hitter starts off the next inning.

[DivineBovine]

At least we cleared the black holes at #9 and #1 during that inning.

I hate those Comcast commercials. Not with the burning hatred of those Bud Light commercials. But yeah, hate.

[weatherdood]

After watching this...does Lou finally have the common sense to shuffle the order tomorrow?

[CubsBears29]

Thanks for sucking, Purple Rain.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

YES SOME PRINCE!!!!

Singles means SEX

Man, I love that song!!

[Anomalied]

Can anyone explain why he is still leading off? I've hated it since day one, and everyone always seems to defend the decision by bringing up the fact that his stats are better in the one-hole. The fact is, though, that a free-swinging power hitter like Soriano should hit lower in the order regardless of what his numbers look like. They will eventually improve in the five slot... he won't hit .185 or whatever if you leave him there long enough.

And if you guys don't understand, I can get CT in here to break things down for you.

[weatherdood]

2 up, 2 down...let's make this a quick inning and get Lilly a win by jumping on Cappy in the bottom.

[Alfonso Soriano]

Can anyone explain why he is getting paid $136 million for going 0-3 with 3 K's?

 

Fixed

[Handlebar McSkullet]

nice.... good innning lilly

[SouthSideRyan]

YAY TED

[weatherdood]

Halftime over in the Bears game...this game thread dies once again.

[soccer10k]

Good job Ted. Now offense, please put him in line for the win.

[CubsBears29]

HA!!

 

That was so totally Cob-like... an inning where the opposing pitcher could have been taken total advantage of, and the Brewers go down like weakling little babies.

Who is watching a preseason game over a pennant race?

Gotta look at the big picture.

[Vanilla Ice]

This has been an indredibly nerve-wracking game. I think that Lilly is on the edge of giving up about 6 runs in the next inning, and Capuano MIGHT be able to shut us down. ITS SO DIFFICULT

I say shame on anybody who is following the Bears game closer than the Cubs game.
